Modern Description: A 2016-19 research project by the Swedish Institute and others has focused attention on a fortified settlement on Strongylovouni hill just south of Vlokhos, Karditsa. Scholars have suggested it might be ancient Phakion or else Limnaion, a city mentioned by Livy alone among ancient authors; it is attested on no known coins or inscriptions. A decorated early Classical sherd and Roman coins, along with distinct fortification walls and magnetometry results showing a street grid plan prove the existence of a substantial walled Thessalian town at the S foot of the hill, with a later Roman phase and an EC church on the summit.
